Two-letter shiritori

Would you like to try playing two-letter shiritori? In regular shiritori, you connect the last letter of the previous word to the first letter of your word regardless of length, and the person who uses a word that ends with “n” loses.
This version adds one more rule: you can only answer with two-letter words.
It’s perfect for when regular shiritori is too easy and boring.
If you want to make it even harder, try banning repeated words or keeping a steady rhythm while playing.
It’s a real test of your vocabulary!
In conclusion
I introduced some games to make drive time more fun—did any catch your eye? You don’t need any special equipment, so there’s no worry about carrying extra stuff.
Play a game on your fun outing and enjoy the journey itself, too!
